Hey no buddies lined up yet! Either way I'm going to try to get in a dive anyway. :)

Fair enough about Monterey, I heard about Pt. Lobos so perhaps I will go there :)

Mark I am away for a month and it is 4-15th June in Tulum, Mexico, then 15-23rd in Florida (cave country), 23-27th...

Hi!

I am in California for a few days in late June to visit family and just wondering if anyone is free on either the 28th or 29th of June to dive around the San Fransisco area? I am staying in...

Bob, do you record what you eat? Just wondering as diet is the main contributor to weight loss, not exercise. Exercise is very easy to undo with even slight snacking so the best way is to have a food...

Oh I am totally going to go see this! They did some of the filming at one of the local caves too (The Shaft) so that will be fun to see :)

Haters gonna hate :)

Yay cave diving!

-keep doing cave diving trip once a month
-switch to sidemounts in next few months
-Mexico + Florida in June
-do no dive courses
-upgrade camera in next few months
-do lots of dives in new and...

Nearly all of the boat diving I do is live actually, locally, including these ones so have not had to worry about staying on an anchor line. But jon line is good tip to know though for if I ever have...

Yes it was a private boat. There were five of us on the boat, so we would have two down (me and my buddy) and three up, and vice versa.

Anyway, I am glad I made this thread, heaps of things...

Thanks Joel, exactly the type of info I am interested in. If you have more detail on the procedures you use (such as you mentioned night diving as we did night diving as well) I would be all ears.

It was 14C/57F. I had a drysuit on and my buddy a wetsuit. Basically what happened is we started our ascent (SMB was put up at depth) and at about 5m for our safety stop I felt a massive current so I...

Thanks Tobin :)

Yea I am trying now to work out the best procedures for dealing with a situation like this if it happened again. A huge part of the problem I think was that we (including me and...

Yes I have always thought to call quite soon after divers did not appear but me and my buddy were lost for three hours before boat found us and Coastguard was not called so I was wondering what...

Just a question that I am curious about due to a recent issue I had, how long would you wait before calling for a search and rescue if you had divers fail to appear after a dive?

Yep HP.

Even with the first one going, I was still happy to try another one as I might have just been unlucky (and mine blew quite early on, before a lot of reports started coming out online) but...

My replacement hose that I got from Miflex for the last one that blew, blew last night. Gear was just sitting there, pressurised for five minutes and went. Blew in two places. This was my single...

Here are some freshwater shots:

Not sure how cold you consider cold water but those were taken in a range of 48-55F.

Few more...

I have only just got my own canister light, have been borrowing people's spares in the past so I would have only done about 60 dives with a can light so far. My most common failure is the goodman...

Yea same here.... Had balanced valve but new suit had unbalanced in it. Just got the parts to convert it back to balanced :cute: MUCH prefer balanced given I don't find I can prime it very often.

I've found the next couple of times I've been up I am better and better on the first day, which is nice! I've been managing to go up once a month now :) Next trip in two weeks~



Oh thanks for...

:laugh:

Yea I know a lot of photographers who watermark and can understand why but I HATE seeing them on photos, totally ruins it for me.

Actually check out this thread and the blog post mentioned in the...
